We Help Native Youth Create Remarkable Lives.

At Rise Above, we empower Native youth to lead healthy lives despite the challenges. We deliver education, prevention skills and mentorship through programs tailored to their needs.

Working closely with tribes and partners, we build tailored education programs with basketball clinics at the center. The clinics — free for youth — are the draw and the platform, an invitation for Native youth to hone their skills on and off the court. And research shows us that kids learn better when they engage their bodies along with their brains.
